The RGO hand grenade (Ruchnaya Granata Oboronitel’naya) is a modern Russian defensive fragmentation grenade. It features a dual-fragmenting design with an inner and outer steel casing, producing a large number of high-velocity fragments upon detonation. As a defensive grenade, it is designed to be thrown from behind cover due to its wide lethal radius (reportedly up to 150-200 meters for fragments). It uses a pyrotechnic delay fuse and is known for its reliability and effectiveness against personnel in the open or in light cover, serving as a standard issue grenade in the Russian military and others.
